Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been using this particular top coat and only this top coat for 5 years. I should start by saying that I work in an ER and I am very hard on my nails. I am constantly washing my hands all day long. I paint my nails at least once but sometimes twice per week. I have a borderline obsession with nail polish. This is hands down the best top coat available. I have used OPI, Essie, and some other cheaper drug store brands. None of them compare to Seche Vite. So now I will commence my list of why this is the only top coat that I use. I will also address the claims by some granola people out there that Seche Vite contains chemicals that are going to kill you. It dries super fast! Not only does it last the longest, look the shiniest, but it drys faster than anything I have ever used. You can apply this immediately after applying color and it will be dry in minutes. Do be careful though, if you are using certain polishes, the brush does absorb some of the color. It is easy to get a little red in your top coat and it looks pink-ish now. I avoid this by just dipping the brush in the topcoat when I am done, and wiping it on a paper towel (or whatever trashy magazine or junk mail happens to be lying near me). This top coat is so glossy. People are constantly asking me, "are those gel nails?" And I say no, its Seche Vite of course! It lasts a long time! I wash my hands or use hand sanitizer at least 40 times per day at work. Probably a lot more than that actually. And this top coat lasts. Sometimes after 3 days of work in a row, it does get dull looking. So I just apply again and my nails look good as new. There is a warning label on seche vite regarding the chemicals this product contains. This is only required by the State of CA, that is why the label is on there. The polish contains toluene. Yes toluene is not good for your body. But if you are just using Seche Vite to paint your nails, even if you did it every day, I doubt you would be exposed to very much of this substance at all. The people that toluene is dangerous for are those that smoke crack cocaine and PCP where toluene is used as a solvent in large quantities. So as long as you don't use Seche Vite to smoke your crack, this toluene will probably not hurt you. And I have not heard of any actual cases where seche vite was indicated as the cause of death or birth defects. And finally, even if these chemicals are going to cause damage to my body, it is worth it. If this top coat is wrong, I don't want to be right.
